2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 1
FOREWORD BY STEWART WINGATE ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………........................................................
Since the last issue of the annual Capital Investment Programme, our regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), has
continued to review our business and in January 2014 put forward their final decision for the basis upon which the
airport will be regulated from April 2014. The CAA has recognised the significant progress the airport has made under
new ownership since December 2009 and has accepted our Contracts and Commitments framework as the best way
forward. This framework covers the next 7 years allowing flexibility, innovation and pace for making investments at
the airport to improve services for our passengers and airline customers. The framework gives us the opportunity to
contract with major airlines, to provide a solid platform for success and jointly grow our businesses to deliver the best
passenger experience.
The basis of this Capital Investment Programme is our regulatory Business Plan submitted to the CAA in 2013, which
was the subject of in-depth consultation with our airline customers. In that submission we outlined the key drivers
leading to the creation of our Business Plan as:
Capacity
Service Quality
Cost Efficiencies
Commercial Revenue
Safety, Security and Compliance
Asset Stewardship
Since we updated our Revised Business Plan in June 2013, we have been reviewing our capital programme in light of
updated traffic forecasts for the airport and our other key investment drivers. In addition, there have been some
major developments to our business which has led to significant changes in our Capital Investment Programme.
These will be explained within this document. This revised Capital Investment Programme provides us with the
opportunity to invest £188m in 2014-15 and £939m over the next 5 years in 2014/15 prices. This takes into account
new projects which will benefit the airport, our airline customers and our passengers. These projects include
developments to the North Terminal to upgrade the Security facilities and transform the World Duty Free store to
match those facilities already successfully operating in the South Terminal. For the South Terminal, a new restaurant
popular with families is coming into the International Departure Lounge and the Railway Station will have further
improvements. The Capital Investment Programme includes the continuation of the transformation of Pier 5 and the
building of the new Pier 1 and baggage facilities for the South Terminal, both of which are already underway
As we move towards delivering our Capital Investment Programme, we will continue to meet our airline customers,
both individually and multi-laterally, and the passenger community, seeking to understand the needs of both these
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 2 stakeholder groups and in particular where these requirements are aligned. The Passenger Advisory Group have
helped to shape the facilities which we have provided for passengers for many years and under the Commitments
framework they have been formally recognised for their contribution which means they are now part of our
consultation structure, where they will be consulted alongside our airline customers for the delivery of the Capital
Investment Programme.
We are looking forward to delivering this ambitious Capital Investment Programme over the next 5 years. We will
continue to work with our airline and passenger partners in 2014-15 and beyond, striving to be London’s airport of
choice by improving services and choice for passengers.

2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 3
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………........................................................
Airline Developments
We continue to work with our airline customers to develop their services and new routes for passengers. In March
2014 Emirates began to operate an A380 daily service to Dubai, making use of the new Stand 110 on Pier 6 of the
North Terminal specifically designed for A380 usage, which was completed in March 2013. Norwegian Air Shuttle
have expanded their operations from Gatwick introducing transatlantic services from July 2014 to Los Angeles, New
York and Fort Lauderdale. In addition Norwegian Air Shuttle have added Santorini, Cyprus, Budapest and Corfu to
their destinations from Gatwick and are increasing frequencies to nine of their existing destinations this summer. We
welcomed Flynas to Gatwick in April who are operating a low-cost long-haul route to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia three
times a week. We have seen the return of Air China to the airport who offer four flights a week to Beijing. easyJet
have added services to Brussels, Paris, Jersey, Newcastle, Strasbourg and Tel Aviv to their existing network of
destinations and British Airways are bringing their 10th long-haul aircraft into the airport this summer.
easyJet Terminal Consolidation
Our largest customer, easyJet, who represents over 40% of our passengers, has been operating from both North and
South Terminals since 2007 when they purchased GB Airways. This split operation can create confusion for some
passengers. We were asked by easyJet to see if their operation could be consolidated into one terminal which will
benefit passengers and make the airport more operationally efficient. We commenced formal consultation for
easyJet’s operations to be consolidated into the North Terminal in January 2014, which we considered to be the only
viable solution for their consolidation, their size ruling out consolidation into the smaller South Terminal. We invited
our top 12 airline customers (representing over 93% of passengers) and the Passenger Advisory Group to take part in
this consultation. We held bi-lateral meetings with airlines who would be most affected by the consolidation or who
had requested such a meeting, as well as a multi-lateral meeting. Airlines were given six weeks to respond to our
consultation paper. We considered the feedback we received on the proposal and subsequently made the decision in
principle in April 2014 to progress with the consolidation. Following further feedback received from airlines, we have
agreed to continue to consult on this consolidation with those airlines who will be most affected by it and we will be
reviewing this again in September. Our aspiration is to complete the works required to bring about this consolidation
by summer 2016 when easyJet will be able to commence all their operations from the North Terminal. The
consolidation will also require British Airways to move its operations from the North to the South Terminal and Virgin
Atlantic Airways to move theirs from the South to the North Terminal. The impact of this decision requires certain
changes to our Capital Investment Programme and details of these are set out later in this document.
Pier 6 Southern Extension
In light of easyJet’s operations consolidating in the North Terminal by summer 2016 and the corresponding moves by
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Airways detailed above, we have reviewed the timing for the Pier 6 Southern
Extension to provide the required additional capacity to meet our 95% pier service target. With the change of
services within the terminals brought about by these airline moves, the analysis has shown that additional capacity in
the form of this extension is not required as early as previously thought and therefore this project has been rephased
to commence works in winter 2017 with anticipated completion in 2022. The potential change to the timing of this
project was discussed during the Constructive Engagement process in 2012, where after undertaking sensitivity tests
it was advised that should the consolidation of easyJet’s operations take place, this would result in the Pier 6
Southern Extension not being required for up to 3 years.
McMillan Report
During the winter of 2013 the South East of England experienced its highest rainfall levels for almost 250 years. As
part of this exceptional winter, Gatwick Airport, its airlines and passengers were faced with an extraordinary set of
circumstances on Christmas Eve 2013. Very high winds on the day before had left many aircraft out of position;
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 4 unexpected and unprecedented levels of river flooding led to the loss of three airfield electrical sub stations that
serve the runway’s lighting system; similarly unprecedented quantities of rainfall caused the North Terminal
basement to be flooded leading to the loss of electrical power and of some key systems; and local transport networks
– both road and rail – were also severely impacted by the weather. We worked extremely hard with our airline
customers on that day to minimise disruption for our passengers but unfortunately a very significant number of
passengers endured poor levels of service and information before seeing their flights either substantially delayed, or
ultimately, cancelled due these exceptional circumstances. We appointed David McMillan, non-executive Director of
Gatwick Airport Limited, to undertake an independent report on the events of that day and make recommendations
that could reduce the likelihood of a recurrence of such an event, as well reducing its impact through improving the
handling of any such event in the future. The McMillan report was published on 26 February 2014 and set out 27
recommendations relating to flood prevention and alleviation planning; contingency and resilience planning;
passenger welfare issues; safety and network issues; and management of the recovery from such an event. The
Gatwick Board have accepted all 27 of these recommendations in their entirety.
Since the publication of the McMillan report we have:
created an Operational Resilience fund of £30 million to address the report’s recommendations, which forms part
of this Capital Investment Programme
set completion of the McMillan actions as a key performance objective for the entire Gatwick management team
for 2014/15
launched our Stable Operations initiative implementing the report’s recommendations
identified £5 million of the Operational Resilience fund for investing in Stable Operations capital projects in
2014/15, of which £3 million has already been allocated for investment in flood management, power and IT
upgrades, terminal equipment and weather and events protection projects for completion by December 2014
implemented regular reviews of the Stable Operations initiative both monthly at Executive management level and
quarterly at Gatwick Board level
introduced progress tracking of actions as a standing item on airline and passenger consultative forums
issued our Contingency Manual for consultation with our airline customers
updated our Passenger Welfare Plan
held a one day contingency planning integration session with air navigation authorities
For those passengers who had their flights cancelled on Christmas Eve 2013, we offered a goodwill gesture of £100 of
high street vouchers in recognition of the exceptionally difficult circumstances they suffered. The scheme closed on
31 March 2014 and over 6000 passengers were issued with these vouchers.
Airports Commission
In its Interim Report published in December 2013, the Airports Commission included Gatwick in its short-list of
potential locations for the next runway in the UK. We launched our “Gatwick Obviously” campaign in March this year
setting out why Gatwick is the best airport for providing UK growth and London’s generation. Since the publication of
the Airport Commission’s short-list we have been working on the development of three options for a second runway
at Gatwick. We submitted more information on these options to the Airports Commission in May this year in our
3,200 page, evidence-based report that shows clearly why expansion at Gatwick is the obvious solution to meeting
the UK’s connectivity needs for the next generation, as summarised below:
Expansion at Gatwick will enable more people to fly to more destinations - 10 million more passengers each year
will be able to travel with a second runway at Gatwick than with a third runway at Heathrow
Expansion at Gatwick will generate more competition, keeping fares lower, and delivering £40 billion more in
economic benefits to the UK than expansion at Heathrow
A new runway at Gatwick can be delivered around five years earlier than a third runway at Heathrow, at no
additional cost or risk to the taxpayer
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 5 Expansion at Gatwick will deliver over 120,000 jobs in London and the South East, helping to rebalance the
economy away from an overheated M4 corridor
Gatwick’s location means far fewer people will be affected by noise - a second runway at Gatwick would impact
only 14,000 people compared to the 240,000 people impacted by noise from Heathrow today
Prior to this submission we consulted local communities around the airport for their views on these three options
which helped us shape our proposals. Our provisional preference is for the third of the options consulted upon, for a
wide–spaced parallel runway to the south of the existing runway, to be operated as independent mixed mode.
During this summer the Airports Commission will assess all the short-listed schemes, including Gatwick, and consult
nationally upon these in the autumn, providing its recommendations to Government during 2015, who will then
decide whether to adopt the recommendations.
Although Gatwick has been short-listed by the Airports Commission for developing options for a 2nd runway at the
airport, this Capital Investment Programme report does not include expenditures on such a 2nd runway development,
should that be approved.
Railway Station
The long awaited new Platform 7 at Gatwick Railway Station was officially opened on 3 February 2014. This exciting
£53m project was the focus of a joint campaign between Gatwick Airport, local business groups and airlines who
backed the delivery of this new platform and helped secure the investment needed. Signalling upgrades will allow for
more reliable travelling times in preparation for service improvements associated with the Thameslink Programme
upgrade, which increases the number of trains and range of destinations from Gatwick from 2018. The project also
incorporates wider benefits that will allow for a better passenger experience throughout the airport. The station
concourse itself has seen a major refurbishment with new flooring providing an open and light space.
These improvements are the first step towards our vision for a full £185 million redevelopment of the airport station
– the Gatwick Gateway. We are working with Network Rail and the Department for Transport on plans for an all-
encompassing passenger transport interchange which will provide a seamless transition between the airport and the
railway station. It would improve the passenger experience by providing a larger concourse, reduced congestion and
intuitive passenger flows. It would also provide clear concise information and easy access to all platforms within a
modern, airy and bright environment that will be positioned between the two existing entrance bridges. The
Government has announced it will support this redevelopment with £50m of funding to kick-start development. We
have committed to contribute £50 million to this project over the next 5 years as part of this Capital Investment
Programme.
In May 2014 Govia was awarded the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern rail franchise which operates the
railway station at the airport. This means that rail services at the airport will be transformed with new, high quality
trains, better stations and more reliable services connecting even more people to the heart of London, South East
England and key regional centres north of London. The airport is already the UK’s best connected airport and the
new franchise will combine several existing networks, making it even more accessible to people in other areas of the
country. New services will link Gatwick to Cambridge and Peterborough, connecting the airport directly to 175
mainline stations and 1000 stations served with a single change. These developments will ensure that Gatwick will be
“rail ready” for a second runway by 2021 with no additional cost to the taxpayer.
We will continue to liaise closely with Network Rail and Govia to investigate further opportunities to extend the
airport’s leading reputation for rail access.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 6
INTRODUCTION ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………………........................................................
The 2014 Capital Investment Programme is an annual document which we publish under our Commitments
framework. This document is consulted with our airline customers and the Passenger Advisory Group (PAG).
This document sets out the capital investment we are looking to undertake in the first year under Commitments
(April 2014 to March 2015) and the programme proposed for the following four years. Under previous regulatory
periods we have been constrained by being held to a fixed investment programme. With the airport business having
ever-changing needs we are pleased that under our new Commitments framework we are now able to have a rolling
5-year programme which will be able to adapt to our dynamic business. We are looking forward to the flexibility this
will allow us to work with our airline customers and PAG to provide the right investment at the right time.
The Capital Investment Programme in Context
Within our Commitments framework we have committed to continue consultation on our investment plans with both
the airline community and PAG and to annually publishing a rolling 5-year Capital Investment Programme forecasting
the cost of capital developments. In addition to this Capital Investment Programme, we will publish a revised Master
Plan (high-level strategic development direction for Gatwick comprising current and future land use plans) at 5 yearly
intervals (or as directed by Government policy) on which we will consult with airlines and the wider community prior
to its publication.
Under the Commitments framework we have committed to undertake the following consultation with our airline
customers and PAG on our Capital Investment:
Consult on Major Development Projects in excess of £10m at Tollgates 2, 3 and 4 of our current development
process
Consult annually on the performance of our Capital Investment Programme in relation to the previous 12 months
and for the following 12 months covering:
- Major Development Projects individually
- Minor Development Projects aggregated (separately identifying individual projects in excess of £1m)
- Asset Stewardship Programme aggregated (separately identifying individual projects in excess of £1m)
Consult and then publish annually a rolling 5 year Capital Investment Programme
Consult on publishing a revised Master Plan at 5 yearly intervals which includes consultation with the local
community
To fulfil our capital consultation Commitments above, following consultation with our airline customers and PAG we
have established the following channels to realise our consultation Commitments:
Capital Investment Programme published annually
Airport & Airlines Group bi-monthly meetings consulting with the airlines on strategic issues. Two additional
meetings held per year to consult on the performance of the previous 12 months Capital Investment Programme
and the programme for the following 12 months
Individual Projects and Programme Working Groups for Major Development Projects jointly with airlines and PAG
at operational level
Passenger Advisory Group Capital Plan Review Group consulting on the performance of the previous 12 months
Capital Investment Programme and the programme for the following 12 months
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 7 Together the Master Plan and Capital Investment Programme documents provide a clear picture of Gatwick’s
roadmap of development within the current, medium and long term view.
Assumptions for this Capital Investment Programme
Although Gatwick has been short-listed by the Airports Commission for developing options for a 2nd runway at the
airport, this Capital Investment Programme report is based on the assumption that Gatwick will remain a single
runway airport up to the mid-2020s. This single runway, two terminal scenario is the key premise upon which this 5-
year airport investment programme is based. Gatwick continues to safeguard for a second runway.
There is still room to grow in the short to medium term, by using un-utilised runway capacity during off-peak periods.
In addition, the introduction of larger aircraft with higher seat capacities and increasing the number of hourly runway
aircraft movements will lead to further growth. By making full use of the potential of the single runway we believe
Gatwick can build capacity to accommodate future demand.
This Capital Investment Programme is based on the consolidation of easyJet’s operations into the North Terminal,
moving British Airways to the South Terminal and Virgin Atlantic Airways to the North Terminal by summer 2016,
which has been the subject of consultation with Gatwick airlines and PAG. The airline moves associated with
easyJet’s consolidation have been carefully considered and of the three options proposed in the consultation, this is
the only viable solution which provides the capacity required within the terminals and runway scheduling limits,
moves the least number of airlines with the least disruption to operations and has the lowest cost. We are continuing
to work with the airlines most affected by this consolidation as to what their requirements are to achieve this goal.
The Structure of the Capital Investment Programme
The content of this document is guided by our Commitments framework for consultation on the Capital Investment
Programme and is intended to describe the capital investment for Gatwick over the next five years. It aims to
provide details regarding the drivers and priorities for investment as well as giving specific information on current
and future projects.
The structure of this document is as follows:
Chapter 1 describes Gatwick’s key drivers for investment and articulates how these drivers are translated into
capital investments.
Chapter 2 provides details of the consultation process for capital investment under the Commitments
framework.
Chapter 3 provides the programme of capital investment for the next 5 years as agreed by our Board in June
2014 and this programme compared to the programme provided to the CAA in June 2013, with reasons for any
material differences. In addition the June 2014 programme is compared to the programme set by the CAA at
the conclusion of their regulatory review for their fair price calculation.
Chapter 4 provides details of the Major Development Projects in excess of £10m (excluding Carryover and Asset
Stewardship projects).

This Capital Investment Programme document should be regarded as a product of consultation at the time of
publication and also as a basis for future consultation and thus, does not represent a mandatory investment
programme.
Feedback
This document was distributed to the members of the Airport Consultative Committee (the Gatwick airlines’
consultative body) and PAG as a draft publication for consultation in July 2014, with a request for feedback. The two
month period for formal feedback has since expired with this being the final version of the 2014 Gatwick Capital
Investment Programme. We do, of course, value feedback throughout the year. The feedback will help us improve
Gatwick’s future Capital plans.

CHAPTER 1: KEY DRIVERS FOR INVESTMENT …………………………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………........................................................
Our key drivers for capital investment, as set out in our Business Plan submitted to the CAA last June, are:
Capacity
Service Quality
Cost Efficiencies
Commercial Revenue
Safety, Security and Compliance
Asset Stewardship
These have not changed and each one is explained in more detail below.
1.1 CAPACITY
The capacity we need to provide for our airlines and passengers is determined through our traffic forecasting, to enable
us to plan capital investments to meet future demand. As reported in previous Capital Investment Programme (CIP)
publications, we have commissioned ICF SH&E, a leading aviation consultancy to produce an independent view of the
future demand for Gatwick. To align with the latest economic outlook, the traffic forecasts were updated in March
2014. The forecast for the year commencing 1 April 2014 is for 37.8 million passengers (base case) to be handled
through our airport and this has been prepared using the same methodology as in previous CIP publications. In
addition, the CAA’s forecasts as at December 2013, from their publication “CAP 1152 - Economic regulation at
Gatwick from April 2014: notice of the proposed licence” published in January 2014, are provided for comparative
purposes.
Traffic Forecasts
Assumptions
The three traffic scenarios produced in these forecasts are intended to provide a range of growth profiles for Gatwick
over the forecast horizon. A set of optimistic and pessimistic assumptions have been analysed and a set of scenarios
created, which provide a reasonable boundary for upside and downside risk. Over the very long term, the three
cases converge towards the assumed runway capacity of Gatwick, beyond which they all grow very modestly.
Low Case Scenario
The low case reflects the downside risk in the forecasts, with a more pessimistic set of assumptions in both the short
and the long term. Possible scenarios include:
Even lower economic growth, for a prolonged period
Fuel price hike, leading to higher fares
Loss of recently gained long haul services, and/or established carriers due to competition

Total 190.9 200.8 209.0 193.8
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 10 Base Case Scenario
In the first three years, growth is driven by known and expected capacity additions by existing and new carriers. The
base case takes a balanced view of both positive and negative factors. Over the long term, a Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) elasticity of around unity is assumed in the base case, reflecting an on-going link to economic growth, but also
increasing market maturity and a combination of negative influences on demand, such as increasing air travel costs
relative to other modes.
High Case Scenario
The high case is intended to reflect a reasonable optimistic scenario, illustrating a set of positive conditions but
remaining within previously sustained growth rates seen at Gatwick. Possible scenarios include:
Faster economic recovery and higher sustained growth rates
Greater success in capturing market share from other London airports
The High case is considered appropriate for the purposes of capacity planning, as it provides an indication of the
maximum likely traffic volume at Gatwick over the planning horizon.
As with all forecasts, actual events may, and probably will, differ from those assumed previously.
Using Gatwick Traffic Forecasts to Determine Facility Requirements
The driver for infrastructure capacity is demand on a busy summer day. This is calculated by taking the third Friday in
August (in terms of aircraft movements) and applying forecast load factors for the Friday average of the busiest 6
summer weeks. The need for infrastructure to satisfy the peak demand remains, regardless of annual passenger
numbers as some slots will always be more commercially viable as certain times of the day are more attractive to
passengers. It is for this reason that the busy day schedule and medium term forecasts are used to model facility
requirements looking forward ten years.
The 2012 Capital Investment Programme included a detailed explanation of how GAL approaches the generation of a
busy day schedule and then how that it is converted in order to understand the demand for facilities.
Gatwick Terminal and Airfield Facilities – Current and Forecast
The tables that follow show the future forecast terminal facility requirements at Gatwick until 2020/21 in North
Terminal, South Terminal and the Airfield, using the busy day schedules to assess demand. The service level
assumptions that have been used in these assessments are quoted in the tables that follow.
It is from these facilities analyses that we determine the investment required to meet forecast demand, which is one
of the key drivers for our Capital Investment Programme.
During the course of consultation on the CIP with Gatwick’s airlines and PAG, the terminal facilities tables were
reproduced on a high level basis showing the existing and future status of the facilities following the completion of
the five year Capital Investment Programme which can be found at Appendix G.

1.2 SERVICE QUALITY
Gatwick operates in a competitive environment and has a strong ambition to become London’s airport of choice;
therefore, the quality of service we provide for our passengers is one of our key drivers for investment. In the past
the CAA has monitored our performance through the Service Quality Rebate (SQR) scheme, however, under our
Commitments framework, this scheme has been replaced by a similar service quality scheme called the Core Service
Standards (Rebates) scheme, which the CAA will monitor. This scheme provides targets that we need to achieve and
report on monthly, details of these targets can be found under Appendix B.
The Product Matrix was created following our passenger insight research during 2012 which identifies future service
outcomes for our passengers and is designed to deliver our ambition for Gatwick. PAG have designed their own
consultative work streams around our Product Matrix. We have recently consulted PAG on the content of the
Product Matrix and the latest version can be found as Appendix C. Examples of some of the service improvements
this Capital Investment Programme will deliver aligned to our Product Matrix are:
Reduced Check-in Queues through working with the airlines to upgrade their check-in and bag-drop facilities
Reduced Immigration Queues through the installation of e-gates for EU passengers by working collaboratively
with UK Border Force
Quicker processing of passengers through Security via our innovative Generation 2 Security project
Improved Arrivals facilities for passengers through the North Terminal Arrivals Transformation project
Less confusion for passengers by consolidating all easyJet’s services into the North Terminal
We pride ourselves on not limiting service improvements to only meet our monitored service standards, but
focussing on the wider remit to provide our passengers with an excellent experience whilst passing through our
airport, as demonstrated through our commitment to deliver the examples above.
Delivering the combination of these service standards and the Product Matrix requires investment across the entire
airport for facilities for both our customer airlines and passengers.
1.3 COST EFFICIENCIES
Another key driver underlying our investment decisions, is to drive down costs for the airport and our airline
customers. We look at where cost efficiencies can be made through developing innovative processes, which may
necessitate capital investment to realise them. Some examples of projects which are reducing costs are listed below:
easyJet Consolidation into the North Terminal will provide operating cost efficiencies for our largest airline
customer
Generation 2 Security will reduce the number of security lanes required in the NT Security project to process
passengers leading to reduced staff costs
Upgrades to passenger self-service bag drop units will provide operational savings for the airlines taking
advantage of these by reducing their staff costs with increased bag drop units requiring lower numbers of hosting
staff
1.4 COMMERCIAL REVENUE
We strive to maximise the revenue we can generate through commercially returning projects. Whilst this benefits
passengers by providing restaurants, shops, car parking, car rental and other services enhancing their experience
whilst passing through the airport, it also benefits our airline customers who under the single-till regulatory regime
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 19 have their airport charges off-set by the amount of income generated from these commercial facilities. Examples of
Commercial projects within our Capital Investment Programme are:
Walk through World Duty Free Store in the North Terminal
More Car Parking capacity
New Restaurant in the IDL in the South Terminal
Car Rental Facilities
Railway Station upgrade
1.5 SAFETY, SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE
Providing a safe and secure environment for our passengers is paramount for our business. We need to invest to
comply with the requirements from a range of authorities to be able to continue to operate safely. These include the
CAA for granting our licence to operate the airfield, the Department for Transport for security regulations and the
Environment Agency for protecting the environment.
Examples of such projects are:
Water Management
Operational Resilience
Airfield Lighting Upgrade
Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) replacement project
Sitting squarely within this investment driver is our Decade of Change strategy. This initiative encompasses our plans
to be environmentally friendly providing energy cost savings and CO2 reductions. Features of this within the Capital
Investment Programme are to provide Efficient Cooling; HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) and Controls,
Efficient Lighting, Pier 3 Environmental Systems minimising energy use, Power Infrastructure (electrical)
improvements and Building Fabrics (insulation and solar protection reducing heating and cooling plant loads). An
example of a significant project is the replacement of the ST Boilers with a decentralised solution that will mean we
can downgrade from high temperature hot water systems to a medium temperature system, which will have at least
a 33% efficiency saving. In addition, Major Development Projects when making installations will upgrade to energy
efficient equipment.
1.4 ASSET MAINTENANCE
At the heart of our business is keeping a smooth operation for our passengers by maintaining our existing assets.
These can be categorised into: Airfield, Facilities, Commercial, IT and Compliance/Risk. It is important that we
continue to invest in these assets, whether they are refurbishing an escalator in the terminal building or upgrading a
critical operational software application, to ensure our passengers have a good experience whilst passing through our
airport.
Examples of such projects in our Capital Investment Programme are:
Taxiways and Airfield Ground Lighting maintenance
ST Boilers upgrading and replacing
ST IAS Plant Room replacement which feeds various electrical and other facilities across the airport
ST Ceilings repair
Building maintenance for our tenants – airlines and other services

CHAPTER 2: CONSULTATION ON THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………………………………………........................................................
2.1 NEW FORM OF ECONOMIC REGULATION
From April 2014, regulatory oversight of Gatwick has evolved into the 7 year Commitments framework, under which
the airport has made price, service quality, capital investment and consultation undertakings to our customers. This
replaces the regulatory model previously used by the CAA, as adapted from utility regulation. The new framework
gives the airport and airline customers the opportunity to grow our relationships, to focus on commercial goals,
through similar contractual arrangements seen elsewhere in the industry. The CAA plans to monitor the
development of the new framework, through a new licence, established for the first time at the airport, and through
formal reviews. The first of these reviews is expected to be in late 2016.
2.2 OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE COMMITMENTS FRAMEWORK
The Commitments framework clearly sets out our obligations to continue to consult with the airline community and passenger representatives on our CIP. The relevant schedule from the Commitments can be found as Appendix A.
The CAA in their February 2014 document, “Economic regulation at Gatwick from April 2014: Notice granting the
licence”, recognised our obligations for consultation on capital investment and these are firmly set within the new
form of regulation. The key requirements for capital consultation under the Commitments are:
Consult on Major Development Projects (ie projects over £10m with the exception of positive commercially
returning projects and dedicated airline projects ) through individual working groups (or where more relevant to
consult on a programme of aligned projects), at Tollgates 2, 3 and 4 of GAL’s current development process
Consult annually on the performance of the CIP in relation to the previous 12 months and for the following 12
months covering:
- Major Development Projects individually - Minor Development Projects aggregated (separately identifying individual projects in excess of £1m) - Asset Stewardship Programme aggregated (separately identifying individual projects in excess of £1m)
Consult and then publish annually a rolling 5 year CIP (compared to the CAA’s capital plan published in January 2014 as Appendix C of CAP1139)
Consult on publishing a revised Master Plan at 5 yearly intervals (this includes consultation with the local community)
We have agreed terms of reference for appropriate consultative forums with our airline customers to undertake the
consultation requirements above. Our new consultative structure for capital and other consultative requirements
under the Commitments framework is shown over the page:
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 21
2.3 PASSENGER ADVISORY GROUP
The Passenger Advisory Group (PAG) is a sub-group of the Gatwick Airport Consultative Committee (GATCOM).
GATCOM was established in 1956 as a statutory body constituted by Gatwick in accordance with the Civil Aviation Act
1982 (as amended by the Airports Act 1986). GATCOM acts as an advisory body for Gatwick providing views on how
the operation and development of the airport affects the local community, passengers, airlines and other users of the
airport. Its membership represents a wide range of interests including local authorities, civil aviation, passenger,
business tourism and community, and environmental groups.
We consult with PAG to hear their views on the facilities and services we provide to passengers and their
recommendations for improving the passenger experience. The CAA’s primary duty under the Civil Aviation Act 2012
is to “further the interests of users (passengers and owners of air freight) regarding the range, availability, continuity,
cost and quality of airport operation services; where appropriate, by promoting competition”. Within this duty the
CAA has recognised a role for PAG in the consultation on Gatwick’s capital investment, which we have now put on a
more formalised footing. As detailed in the previous section, PAG will be consulted alongside the airlines for their
views on the airport’s development projects, asset stewardship and Master Plan. You will see that they are part of
our new consultative structure above and a new PAG working group has been established to undertake this capital
consultation.
In addition to PAG being consulted on capital development projects, they have set up a number of consultative work
streams based upon our Product Matrix looking at each category of passenger and their particular requirements. The
Product Matrix can be found under Appendix C.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 22
CHAPTER 3: CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME OVERVIEW ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………………………........................................................
3.1 BACKGROUND
As outlined in the 2012 and 2013 Capital Investment Programmes, the airport consulted with its airline customers in
2012 through a process known as Constructive Engagement, to develop our capital programme for the five years
commencing April 2014. The output of this process was submitted to the CAA in our Business Plan in January 2013
and after the CAA’s consideration and further consultation with the airport, airlines and other stakeholders, the CAA
published its forecast of our 5 year capital programme commencing April 2014 (for their Fair Price Calculation) in
their final decision on the airport’s form of economic regulation in January 20141. The CAA published the cost of this
programme in 2011/12 prices to be consistent with the commencement of their consultation. For comparative
purposes, the annual capital spend totals assumed by the CAA for Gatwick for their Fair Price calculation have been
uplifted to 2014/15 prices (using a consensus of forecasts for 2014 and 2015, taken from the ‘HM Treasury Forecast
for the UK Economy’ – February 2014 edition) and are given below.

3.2 UPDATED CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME
Since the CAA’s publication of their forecast for the capital programme, we have been reviewing our capital
programme in light of changes to our business, the latest traffic forecasts and the other key drivers for investment set
out in Chapter 2.
This has resulted in an updated programme of projects as set out in the table on the following page.

2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 28 The table below compares the CAA’s annual forecast spend for their fair price calculation with our revised Capital
Investment Programme.
Explanation of the variance between forecasts is as per the table above setting out the material differences between
our June 2013 Business Plan and our revised Capital Investment Programme as at June 2014.
3.4 SUMMARY The total expenditure outlined in this investment plan for the 5 years commencing April 2014 is £939 million in
2014/15 prices. We are continually striving to deliver more value for less by working more efficiently, ensuring that
the right projects appearing in the CIP have been fully explored considering people, process, systems and
infrastructure.
Looking ahead to the rest of 2014, there is significant further investment required to expand current facilities where
required, achieve greater operational efficiency and improve the passenger experience for all of our passenger
segments. Beyond 2015, we are forecasting approximately £752 million of capital expenditure between 2015/16 and
2018/19, thereby continuing a similar rate of expenditure and improvement since the airport changed ownership in
December 2009.
This document represents a CIP issued as an output of and for the purposes of further consultation and thus does not
represent a mandatory investment programme.

Project Name NT Programme – Security in Zones F, G and H
Project Number C-40201
Description / Scope Extensive positive feedback has been received from both passengers and airlines showing they are very impressed with South Terminal security and what has been done to make a step change in our approach to security at Gatwick. This project seeks to continue the transformation of security by modernising and refurbishing North Terminal security. North Terminal has a total of 20 lanes; however, only 6 lanes currently have the 1st generation smart lane technology. This project will move Security to the area vacated by easyJet check-in in Zones F, G and H and to install 2nd generation smart lane technology across 13 new lanes. The lanes will include separate processing lanes for Families and Assistance passengers and for Premium Business passengers.
Benefits This will enable Gatwick to improve the overall passenger experience in line with passenger growth. Increase passenger throughput from 200 passengers per hour per security lane moving to 400 passengers per hour per security lane following trials in the South Terminal. Through the introduction of new technology and improved processes.

2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 30
Project Name NT Programme - Arrivals Transformation
Project Number C-40204
Description / Scope The airlines have described North Terminal arrivals concourse as an experience akin to ‘a grim dungeon’. North Terminal arrivals landside has not been invested in since 1988 and is now extremely dated and worn. The new vertical circulation from Level 00 to Level 10 in the Check In On Avenue project will remove the existing escalators and create more space in the Arrivals Hall. This project aims to transform the North Terminal arrivals landside experience by modernising the area and improving the layout and orientation to provide efficient passenger flows and includes a small increase in retail space.
Benefits Provides a positive landside experience for passengers arriving at Gatwick, including core, PRM, families and premium
Improves the retail, commercial and onward travel opportunities from arriving passengers and improves revenue

October 2014 November 2015 Anticipated March 2016
Cost £14.27m in 2014/15 prices
Project Name NT Borders
Project Number C-40415
Description / Scope Unacceptable queues occur at NT Border Zone at peak times and the existing space is dated, worn out and provides poor passenger experience. More capacity is required and the quality and feel of the space is visibly inferior to the South Terminal Border Zone space. Capacity: To meet passenger growth forecast and the increase in demand from eligible passengers for e-gates and reduce queues at peak times, it is necessary to provide 15 new generation e-gates (safeguard for 20), 3 monitoring desks and relocate and reconfigure 22 manual desks as well as provision of additional 300m2queuing space in the North Terminal. (Compared to current 5 e-gates, 22 manual desks and 665m2 of queue space) Refurbishment: The project will refurbish the North Terminal space to a similar standard to that currently seen in South Terminal.
Benefits Modernise and refurbish the North Terminal Border Zone to improve the environment, and achieve equality of experience for passengers with South Terminal Provides the additional capacity required to meet growth forecast and incorporates automated e-border technology in line with UK Border Force policy

Winter 2017 2022
Cost £175.92m in 2014/15 prices of which £10.92m estimated to be spent in this 5 year period
Project Name Early Bag Store
Project Number C-40409
Description / Scope This project provides an automated bag storage facility for up to 3,000 bags with connectivity to existing baggage systems and hold baggage screening facilities. Allows the continued provision of flexible check-in products currently enjoyed by passengers and airlines. It will overcome the necessity to restrict check-in opening times with the resulting degradation of the current passenger and airline experience. Provide the functional platform to enable new check-in products such as any-time check-in, automated self-service bag drop for our passengers and an opportunity for the airlines to have a range of check-in opening times and the potential to reduce the cost of their baggage operation. This enables check-in up to 18 hours prior to scheduled departure and reduces chute opening times by at least 30 minutes which contributes to reduction in peak queue times. Through our research half of passengers were interested in early bag drop off facilities at the airport and they felt that this facility would make their time at the airport less stressful.
Benefits Delivers any-time check-in for passengers and provides the airlines with the opportunity to have a range of check-in opening times and reduce the cost of their baggage operation

Action
Introduction and Purpose
Under the new Commitments framework this is a new process to hold two annual consultation meetings on the 5-year rolling Capital Investment Programme (CIP) with both the ACC and PAG. This first meeting is to present and consult upon the following year’s CIP and the second meeting will review the previous year’s performance. As this is the first year of this process, following the CAA’s Final Decision on the regulatory framework in January, it has taken GAL several months to finalise the CIP for consultation and therefore this meeting is later than had originally been envisaged. This delay was partly due to refreshing the CIP to take into account easyJet consolidating their operations into the North Terminal (still the subject of consultation). The main base of the CIP has remained the same as it was before, namely to meet the business needs. This is the first CIP that has been developed under the GAL Board as the Q5 CIP had been inherited from BAA. In future, the timing of these two meetings is anticipated to be January to look ahead to the following year and the following April/May for looking back at the previous financial year ending 31 March. The ACC and PAG were asked to input into this process and GAL would welcome their views on what they want to achieve in these meetings, aligned to the other bilateral and multi-lateral forums.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 56 The purpose of today’s session was partly to meet GAL’s Commitments to consult on the CIP which included presenting the changes from the 2013 June Business Plan and the Major Development Projects. It was asked if the CAA were monitoring this CIP consultation process. It was advised that he CAA do not have a formal role to oversee this process any longer within the lighter regulatory framework GAL was now under. The CAA will monitor GAL annually and check that the changes to the CIP are beneficial to the passenger.
Development of the Capital Investment Programme
The journey (commencing 2011) leading to the development of this CIP was presented. The ACC’s input during this process was acknowledged as having helped to develop some projects more efficiently. PAG had now formally become part of the consultative process.
Key Drivers
Each one of the six key drivers behind the development of the CIP were then presented.
Cost Efficiencies CW joined the meeting to present this and the following key driver. This driver was about making the airport the best it can be for passengers by providing better services and at the same time being more efficient, leading to reduced costs being passed on to passengers through lower ticket prices. The 3 examples given were easyJet’s terminal consolidation which would give better space utilisation and reduce easyJet’s own operating costs, the Security Generation 2 project which would provide faster throughput and the Self-Service Bag-Drop project which would reduce check-in queues and provide cost efficiencies for airlines.
Safety, Security and Compliance Examples of the projects which fell under this driver were presented. The McMillan report published following the disruption on Christmas Eve 2013 had resulted in a £30m fund being set up to address resilience issues. For 2014/15 £5-6m of this fund would be spent on works which had been identified to support GAL’s Stable Operations initiative which had been established as a direct result of the report. The remaining monies in the fund would span the 5-year CIP period, for works which had yet to be identified of a more strategic nature. It was asked if these works would be subject to consultation. It was advised that so far the projects had been low value, and GAL was now looking to the medium term, but it was too early to know yet what would be developed. If the projects identified were over £10m then they would be consulted upon. Operational Resilience was now a standard agenda item at the AAG and PAG meetings, which will inform on all resilience works, not just those leading from the McMillan report. Another key project in this category was the replacement of the Hold Baggage Screening equipment to comply with the Department of Transport’s Directive to install Standard 3 machines by 1 September 2018. There was some discussion that this was seen as a negative project requiring additional lines with heavier machinery, which would be difficult for the airport to accommodate. It was noted that the Airport Operators Association in the UK were lobbying against the UK Government about this Directive and the Airports Council International were lobbying the EU for their equivalent Directive. GAL has a large team working on this looking at the best ways the equipment can be installed. They had started seeking views from BA already ahead of this project being formally consulted upon. Other key projects under this heading were to comply with local authority and public transport commitments and disability legislation. An example of this was to provide better accessibility from the South Terminal to the local bus stops on the A23 for PRMs. The final project presented was GAL’s Decade of Change. This is a £10m fund which will span the 5-year period to make the airport more environmentally friendly. This will be used to provide energy cost savings and CO2 reductions by installing more efficient equipment across the airport. It was questioned why this fund had reduced from around £25m in the previous
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 57
iteration of the Business Plan. It was advised that this was due to individual projects now having these elements included in their own budgets, eg the NT Development Programme will include the cost of energy saving equipment. It was raised that GAL needed to give more prominence to the work it was doing to be “greener” and should publicise it more. It was agreed GAL would take on the challenge to do that and that the “green” projects will be shown separately in the final CIP to give them a higher profile (AP1).
Capacity The recent traffic performance and forecasted passenger volumes for the 5-year period were presented including examples of how these can be impacted by airline changes. Understanding the capacity requirements for future years drives capital projects to accommodate these volumes. Charts were shown for both North and South terminals which showed in which years the facilities would need investment to meet forecast demand based on current facilities. The NT Development Programme is an example of investing to meet this future demand. It was queried why NT Check-in was shown as green in 2016. It was agreed this will be investigated and the information will be provided at the next CIP meeting (AP2). It was also agreed that at the next meeting these charts would be updated to show the status of the terminal areas after the projects in the CIP have been completed (AP3).
Service Quality The importance of providing excellent service quality at the airport was presented, not just to meet the Core Service Standards, but going over and above those standards to ensure passengers have a great experience whilst passing through the airport. Examples of projects meeting this key driver were improvements to check-in and bag-drop facilities to reduce check-in queues; Generation 2 Security for faster security processing; provision of e-gates in Immigration to reduce queues for EU passengers and the transformation of the North Terminal. In addition, there could be unanticipated situations which required GAL to step in to support third parties operating at the airport to ensure passengers’ service levels were not diminished, which in some cases could lead to capital projects being required; although the example given for assisting Swissport on arrivals baggage performance was not anticipated to require a capital project.
Commercial Revenue Projects with the key driver to generate commercial income include the walk-through World Duty Free Store in NT, increasing car parking capacity, provision of new restaurants and upgrading car rental facilities.
Asset Stewardship This driver to maintain the airport’s assets was presented with examples given for the categories of Airfield, Facilities, Commercial and IT.

CIP Overview
An overview of the CIP expenditure for the 5-year period was given and how this was broken down into project categories. This was also shown graphically which helped visualise when the largest chunks of expenditure would take place. Discussions on this led to the following points:
Under the CAA’s final regulatory decision to implement the Commitments framework, GAL is not required to deliver the full capital plan that was presented in the June 2013 Business Plan. GAL has committed to invest a minimum of £700m over the seven year period of the Commitments. The CAA’s fair price calculation has this investment commitment as its threshold but there is no requirement to deliver individual projects.
The CIP is a rolling 5-year plan which will be refreshed and consulted upon each year to meet the airport’s requirements to benefit passengers as determined through the key drivers.
The CIP has been reprioritised to take account of easyJet’s consolidation into NT, operational resilience requirements (including addressing the recommendations from the McMillan report) and reallocating some Decade of Change works into individual projects.
It would not be in GAL’s long-term interests (with its aim to be de-regulated) to split projects into smaller projects just to avoid consulting the airlines and PAG. GAL works with all parties to make the airport the best it can be for passengers and for it to be competitive. This consultative framework gives protection to the airlines and passengers that investments are
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 58
capitally efficient and this is supported by the CAA who would step in if GAL were to misbehave. The airlines can report GAL to the CAA at any time. This is a new process which needs to be developed collaboratively, but it is early days, only being 5 months since its commencement.
The CIP is a 5-year rolling plan, as opposed to the 7 years of the Commitments, as set down by the CAA.
The rephasing of the Pier 6 South Extension project by 3 years to commence in 2017 and complete in 2022 was challenged as only £10.92m was now being invested in the 5-year period of the CIP. The full cost of the project (given as £157.12m) is provided within the project summaries in Chapter 4 of the CIP and is highlighted in the Business Developments section as not being required as early as originally thought due to the easyJet consolidation. [Post meeting note: the project cost had been incorrectly given covering the 7 year period only and will be corrected to £175.92m as the full cost.] The analysis supporting this rephasing will be brought to the second CIP consultation meeting along with the 10 year capital plan showing where some projects have been rephased to outside of this 5-year CIP (AP4).
Although Pier 1 will open in November 2015, spend for the combined Pier 1 and ST Baggage continues through to 2016/17 for the completion of the baggage system and the project’s final accounting close down.
It was questioned whether the ST Borders project to install the new generation e-gates had been successful or whether UKBF had just reduced their manpower. It was advised that ST was being trialled and doing well after the airlines challenge during CE to reduce the scope of the project from both terminals to only ST. A link to the UKBF performance on GAL’s website will be forwarded to attendees and at the second CIP meeting GAL will provide performance information of the ST e-gates (AP5).
The NT Ceilings/Floors project has not been included in this CIP. The ST Ceilings project is being re-scoped due to asbestos being found in the area requiring works which would cost over £10m to address. Therefore the project team are still pursuing a suitable solution. The netting currently over the ceiling tiles will need replacing next year.
There are no innovations for the arrivals baggage process that could be included in the CIP.
GAL’s £50m contribution to the Railway Station improvements is a challenge to ensure Network Rail and the train operators use the investment wisely and invest the remaining £85m themselves required to complete the project. It was raised that the CAA had not endorsed this contribution within GAL’s capital plan.
The spend for the projects carried over into the 2014 CIP, which had originally been anticipated to be spent in Q5, did not go into the Q5 RAB at the end of that regulatory period and now count towards the CAA threshold for the fair price calculation.
The reduction in the Asset Stewardship category in the CIP is partly due to finding ways to do projects more efficiently but also the projects previously categorised as Compliance and Risk accounting for c£30m have now been separated out from Asset Stewardship and moved to the Compliance, Risk and Resilience category.

Meeting Notes from 14 August
The notes of the previous meeting were distributed for review on 3 September. No comments were given at the meeting and it was requested that if there were any they should be provided by email.
Actions Arising from 14 August
AP1 – to give green projects higher profile in the CIP would be addressed in the final version. AP2, AP3, AP4 and AP5 would all be addressed during today’s meeting. AP6 – to respond formally to PAG’s initial comments had been completed.
Terminal Capacity Charts
As requested at the last meeting, the terminal capacity charts had been updated showing how the terminals would be affected if none of the CIP projects were undertaken and then the status with
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 60 the projects completed. It was noted that the space standard for the IDLs had been relaxed from that used in the draft CIP which had been based on a purely commercial standard, in favour of an operational standard which would still be comfortable for passengers. It was confirmed that the charts assumed that easyJet had consolidated their operations in NT with BA moving to ST and Virgin to NT. The discussion focussed on NT as this was the terminal which would require the most development during the 5 year period to meet demand. Points raised were:
Baggage Facilities – NT Early Bag Store project completes late 2018. ST needs more make-up positions but NT has ample now. The later the project completes, the more impact it will have on day before check-in services. GAL stated that overall airline baggage products had been taken into account when assessing the facilities required, but that as requested by the airlines today they would take another look (AP1).
IDL, Immigration and Reclaim - It was questioned whether the red dots against these facilities for summer 2016, meant that they would not meet demand through to summer 2017 and can plans to address these be brought forward. GAL is restricted on the timeframe for improving these facilities within the existing terminal footprint, by construction lead times and the easyJet consolidation works, but it is looking at all options to mitigate any lack of capacity prior to being able to undertake improvements. The standard of these facilities prior to the works completing will be no worse than at some other airports which have lower standards. These mitigation options include early calls to gates, but GAL stated it will not be asking airlines to change their schedules, which could have been another option. It was suggested that to alleviate congestion in the IDLs more use should be made of the open spaces on Piers 3 and 6. The down-side of moving passengers earlier onto the piers was the potential loss of retail revenue. An explanation was given for the NT Reclaim shortfall in capacity, which was predicated on wide-bodied aircraft only. It was noted that individual airlines had different preferences for whether to have baggage split over two reclaims or not, but in this case it was based on one specific airline.
Pier 5 - It was asked why the corridors on Pier 5 were so wide and could better use not be made of that space. GAL responded that due to PRM buggy restrictions they needed to be this wide. GAL stated that it would consider the suggestion to put seating on the Pier 5 bridge as a short-term measure (AP2).
Busy Day Analysis - It should be remembered that these charts are based on one busy day schedule and to keep this in perspective when looking at the status of terminal facilities shown.
easyJet Consolidation - It was raised what would be the impact of the easyJet consolidation on these facilities. As part of the consolidation consultation paper GAL had issued in January there was a quick comparison of with and without the consolidation which GAL would re-issue (AP3).
The discussion concluded that the airport had been growing faster than expected. The CIP has challenging timelines for projects to meet future demand and where possible operational mitigation measures will be put in place to alleviate congestion.

10 Year Overview
As promised at the previous meeting, GAL presented an overview of its capital plan for the 10 year period commencing 2014/15. This helped to demonstrate where some projects that had previously been forecast to commence in the first 5 year period had, due to changing business needs, been rephased and were now spreading into the second 5 year period. In particular this was true for the Pier 6 Southern Extension, which was identified separately in dark red on the graph, showing that it had moved out by 3 years from that originally envisaged in the June 2013 Business Plan. The ST IDL and NT IDL projects were also now anticipated to start later. It was noted that there was a dip in forecast spend for 2018/19 compared to the other 9 years. This was due to the hard deadline for providing Hold Baggage Screening facilities to meet the DfT’s regulations by 2018 requiring higher levels of spend in the previous two years, but this also reflected the rolling nature of the 5-year CIP leaving manoeuvrability for including new projects towards the end of the term which had yet to be identified. It was confirmed that the 5-year CIP presented would not be impacted by any decision next year
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 61 to build a 2
nd runway, as the CIP did not stretch out to that horizon, with projects planned to meet
demand well before 2025 when the runway may be built.
Delivery of 95% Pier Service in NT (Pier 6 South) Analysis
A re-cap was presented on the consultative process which GAL and the airlines had gone through between 2010 and 2013, including formal Constructive Engagement as part of the CAA’s regulatory review. This process had looked at three scenarios for delivering 95% Pier Service in NT: easyJet consolidated in ST, easyJet consolidated in NT or leaving easyJet split across the two terminals. The output from this analysis had identified Pier 6 Southern Extension as the solution. It had been established that if easyJet were to consolidate their operations into NT as anticipated, then the additional capacity would not be required until 2022, which is now the expected completion date for Pier 6 Southern Extension. Although it was felt this was now the correct timing for the project, prior to making any decision to go ahead, works should be undertaken to see if stand planning improvements could be made to meet forecast demand for longer. It was also discussed whether the 95% target is the best key driver for performance and whether there was a better measure that could be used which would result in better overall airport performance. It was reminded that this level of pier service was originally imposed on GAL by the CAA and therefore any change would have to be approved through them.
ST Immigration e-gates Performance
Information on the Immigration performance from June 2013 to July 2014 was shared including passenger feedback on the service. By 2016 all EU passengers over 18 will be eligible to use the e-gates. It is clear that UKBF need more space for processing passengers and GAL aims to address this, but whether this is via e-gates or more manned desks is a discussion between GAL and UKBF. GAL is hoping to bring forward the timing of this project and will be consulting the airlines and PAG on this project.
Changes from June 2013 Business Plan
The key changes to the CIP from the June 2013 Business Plan had already been touched on through discussions in the meeting held on 14 August and through today’s presentation. Those changes were: timing changes to carry over projects; NT Programme acceleration; easyJet consolidation into NT; Pier 6 Southern Extension rephasing and actions to improve efficiency. The development team restructuring to under one Director and reductions in head count were one example of driving efficiency. GAL was currently reviewing its development procurement processes to see if efficiencies can be achieved there.
Airport Service Quality Results for April-June 2014
Results from the quarterly Airports Council International Airport Service Quality survey were shared. Within the European airports comparator group ST was ranked 4
th and NT was 11
th. In
the London terminals comparison ST was now ranked second. The trend showed that through improvements to the facilities in ST it was moving upwards, whereas for NT, where improvements were planned to be delivered, it was moving downwards in terms of passengers’ perceptions.
Major Development Projects
The list of Major Development Projects (those in excess of £10m) were categorised into two groups. Those projects which were stand alone were on the top half of the list and those which were programmes of smaller projects were in the bottom half. GAL intends to consult on those in the top through individual working groups and for those at the bottom, which were not as well developed in the previous Business Plan, to not set up working groups, but as and when larger items within the programmes are identified to consult on those separately. No objections were raised to this approach to the consultation. GAL has already convened a working group for the NT Programme and intends to arrange working groups for NT Borders, Stand Reconfigurations and Hold Baggage Screening projects commencing this autumn.
2014 Consultation
Details of consultation meetings that had taken place or are scheduled for the remainder of 2014 were provided.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 62
Capital Investment Budget 2015/16 Plan and Process Overview
Dave Harpur joined the meeting to give an overview of the capital planning process for setting and annually refreshing the CIP, which aligned with the airline and PAG consultation timetable for meetings in January and April/May. Between now and December, GAL will be refreshing the CIP and through the normal course of airline bilaterals, the November AAG, PAG Working Group meetings and the PAG October meeting, GAL would welcome the airlines’ and PAG’s input for this refresh. This will then be put to the GAL Shareholder Board for sign-off in January.
Next Steps
Airlines and PAG were reminded of the deadline for submitting their feedback on the draft 5-year CIP as 23 September. The final version of the CIP was anticipated to be published in October following consideration of the feedback. Plans for consultation on the 2015 CIP were advised. It was asked whether GAL will have produced a full draft of the 2015 CIP for the meeting in January. GAL are to consider what information they will have available to share at that time. In addition to the feedback on the 2014 CIP, GAL asked for any thoughts from the airlines and PAG on improvements for the consultation process.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 63
Initial PAG Feedback on Draft 2014 CIP with GAL responses Major Projects contained in the report a. Project C-40418. Rail Station Contribution. In November 2013, GAL warmly welcomed a £50m contribution from the Government to the Gatwick Gateway to create a public transport interchange. The project scope as currently defined only embraces a new station concourse and does not include many features of Gatwick Gateway (bus and coach station and central car rental facility). The latest estimate for the station concourse is £185m with no estimate for the remaining project. GAL is only allocating £50m. Is this ever going to get off the ground? GAL’s contribution of £50m and the Government’s contribution of £50m leaves £85m for the train operators and Network Rail to invest, who will ultimately benefit from increased revenue. It is a challenge for GAL to ensure that their monies are invested wisely by the railway to improve the passenger experience, but sees it as vital for the future of the airport. The Gatwick Gateway project is part of our vision for a two runway airport and the development and delivery of this project will be dependent upon the Government’s decision in 2015 for the location of additional runway capacity in the South East. b. Projects C-40203 (NT Avenue check-in) and C-40409 (Early Bag Store) along with on-going project (ST Baggage and Pier 1) all aim to improve the check-in experience, capabilities and processes. With these investments, can we be assured that the current limitation of opening bag drop 2.5 hour before departure will be removed and that passengers will be able to drop their bags at their convenience (say up to 24 hours before a flight) in both terminals? Check-in opening time policies are determined by individual airlines subject to their operating costs. The NT Early Bag Store will provide storage for 3,000 bags and enables check-in up to 18 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure, providing flexibility for any-time check-in as required by the airlines. ST Baggage will provide storage for 2,600 bags with flexibility for any-time check-in (increasing processing capability from 3,800 bags per hour to 4,250 bags per hour). The NT Avenue check-in will utilise the latest technology for faster throughputs and efficiency gains. c. Is the deferral of the Pier 6 South project going to inhibit the ability of easyJet to grow in the latter part of the planning period (assuming the consolidation happens) and also the ability of Gatwick to handle multiple A380's at the same time? We do not wish to see the pier service target lowered and passengers subject to more bus transfers. Extensive analysis has been undertaken with the airlines as to when Pier 6 South will be required to meet capacity, maintaining the 95% Pier Service measure in NT. It has been concluded that with easyJet’s consolidation into NT, the additional capacity Pier 6 South will provide is not required for up to 3 years, with completion now scheduled in 2022. This rephasing of the project will still allow sufficient capacity for easyJet to grow its operations at the airport and there will not be any impact on accommodating further A380 services in the short-term. d. We would like an opportunity to be consulted on passenger aspects of project C-40500 (Business System Transformation and Renewals) as it is developed and ask that the implementation of real time bus/coach information displays is part of the deliverable. All individual projects over £10m are subject to consultation with the airlines and PAG as set out in our Capital Investment Consultation Commitments. As this project falls into that category, it is anticipated that consultation will take place through an operational working group for this programme of works as it is developed with PAG and the airlines. Real time bus/coach information displays are not anticipated to be within this project. As stated at the PAG meeting on 10 July, the cost of providing these displays has been estimated at £120K as opposed to our anticipated spend allocation of £50K. Due to this rise in cost, GAL is looking at the National Express tracker being put onto the GAL website providing real-time data. As with any other capital spend, any project to provide these displays would require a robust business case.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 64 Omissions from the Report e. Section 4 summarises projects over £10m. We would like to have the opportunity to see and comment on: - a list of projects under £10m (for example, there a toilets that need refurbishing and to provide better access to A23 ST bus stops that should be on such a list) - the way in which GAL managers will have access to funds for small capital projects that will make a difference to the passenger experience All projects over £1m are listed in the main table (page 23) with asset stewardship projects over £1m being shown separately in Appendix D (page 48). Smaller projects below £1m are aggregated into “other” lines. There are no separate consultation requirements in the Commitments to consult on projects below £10m and those in excess of £1m are identified in the CIP for discussion at the two annual CIP consultation meetings. Access to the A23 ST bus stops is part of the Public Transport/DDA Access project costing £9.2m within the Compliance, Risk and Resilience category. As this is beneath the £10m consultation threshold, it will not be consulted upon as a separate project. PAG will be able to provide input to GAL management for this project through the PAG Surface Access working group. Funding for all capital projects go through GAL’s rigorous internal governance processes which are confidential. Items requiring clarification f. Is the expenditure of only £1.5m on ACDM55 in the plan period sufficient to deliver the promised benefits? ACDM55 is a Carry Over project with the remaining £1.5m being spent in 2014/15. Total spend for the full project is anticipated to be £5.96m. g. Red dots on pages 12, 13, 14 and 15 suggest that capacity in the IDLs, immigration and baggage halls will be an issue as early as 2016 in both terminals. Apart from C-40415 NT Borders, we cannot identify any projects aimed at alleviating these warning indicators. Surely our plan should embrace projects to prevent this deterioration in passenger experience? Is NT Borders project scheduled for delivery too late? Do calculations for number of passengers per baggage belt stand scrutiny? North Terminal
NT Programme allows for additional capacity in the IDL through check-in zones F, G & H being used for Security releasing space back into the IDL. IDL WDF walk-through (completed by May 2018), retail churn of ex-WDF area and “Teardrops” reconfiguration projects are all improvements to the IDL. We are accelerating this programme to meet forecasted demand.
NT Borders project providing immigration e-gates to alleviate congestion has been delayed to commence works in 2017, to avoid having disruption at the same time as the NT Programme works. You may be interested to know that the airlines do not support this project going ahead, but GAL see this as an important improvement for passenger experience.
NT Reclaim Baggage will provide additional capacity in the baggage hall commencing 2016 providing a second 70m long international belt with two baggage feeds and two baggage feeds onto a domestic belt. This is another project that the airlines do not support as they believe is it not required to meet future capacity, but GAL is taking forward to upgrade facilities for passengers.
South Terminal
ST IDL Capacity project commencing 2018 is a £65m project to meet forecasted growth but it cannot commence before completion of Pier 1 and ST Baggage in 2017. This expansion is not supported by the airlines as they feel it provides insufficient commercial returns to warrant this extension, but GAL sees this as an important project to meet forecasted demand and improve the passenger experience.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 65
The installation of the 2nd generation of e-gates in ST Immigration in October 2013 was forecast to meet future e-gate demand to beyond 2020. We are still evaluating their performance before making any decisions on further projects required in Immigration. There may be opportunities for further improvements to the process for non-EU passengers.
Peak demand at ST Reclaim reduces following easyJet consolidation, so we now expect the existing 7 International belts to be sufficient.
h. To what extent do proposed projects embrace the 'Green Airports Initiative'? Are there any projects that would make Gatwick the greenest in the World?| The Decade of Change project encompasses the airport’s plans to be environmentally friendly providing energy cost savings and CO2 reductions. Features of this project are to provide efficient cooling, HVAC and Controls, Efficient Lighting, Pier 3 Environmental Systems minimising energy use, Power Infrastructure (electrical) improvements and Building Fabrics (insulation and solar protection reducing heating and cooling plant loads). An example of a significant project in this programme is the replacement of the ST boilers with a decentralised solution that will mean GAL can downgrade from high temperature hot water systems to a medium temperature system, which will have at least a 33% efficiency saving. In addition, Major Development Projects when making installations will upgrade to energy efficient equipment. i. Is project C-40409 Early Bag Store for NT or ST? It is NT. Other matters j. Please make available a plan of stand numbers so we can better understand the scope and impact of project C-40014. Find attached a plan of the airport’s stand layout, with Stands 551,552 and 553 shown at the bottom of Pier 5, below the area marked “WIP” which is the current Phase 2 works for Pier 5. You will need to enlarge the plan on a display screen to be able to see the stand numbers easily. k. Please update the Glossary to show PAG as Passenger Advisory Group, a sub-committee of GATCOM. The Glossary will be updated as requested. l. Appendix B - Airline Service Standards - we would like to see a process in place whereby these standards can be reviewed annually with an opportunity to incentivise performance These standards are set for 7 years as part of the Commitments framework within our regulatory Licence. Any changes to these standards requires both GAL and AOC/ACC agreement which is prescribed under certain circumstances in our Commitments. The airlines do not support these service standards (check-in and arrivals baggage) imposed on them by GAL and the reporting of them. The CAA does not regulate these airline standards and is unable to impose them. Therefore it would not be practical to review these annually. m. Appendix C - Product Matrix. A number of items should be added as follows: - Maximum 10 minute queue for Families in Security -Baby change and facilities for nursing mothers in IDL under Family heading - Baby change facilities under Family column in Piers and Arrivals Border Zone
GAL is happy to discuss updates to the Product Matrix through the existing PAG Working Groups which are outside of the CIP consultation’s remit. September 2014

Responses to CIP Feedback
ACC Letter
Key Drivers – The airlines would like the airport to also consider the plan to be resilience driven and also to take into consideration the current and future products of airlines. We believe the key driver for GAL is capacity and feel that some areas should be refocused on what the airlines are introducing as part of their offering as to when they time their plans: for example, North Terminal Early bag store.
GAL welcomes the airlines input to the CIP and look forward to receiving their suggestions for the 2015 CIP by early December. The CIP has been developed through a variety of investment drivers which includes resilience with £5m allocated for the first year and a further £25m over the remaining years. At the second consultation meeting we discussed the NT Early Bag Store and GAL agreed to take another look at the analysis of when this facility will be required, to identify if this is earlier than the current thinking of late 2018, which we will report back on at the January 2015 consultation meeting.
Consultation – The airlines would like to ensure that consultation is being effective, and we would like a clear definition of GAL’s interpretation of how they will consult, and what they believe effective consultation will be. We note that there will be further discussion in November’s Airport and Airlines Group (AAG) on how effective consultation has been so far, but would like to ensure this line of communication remains open.
GAL is committed to undertaking effective consultation with the airlines and PAG on the CIP. This has been a new process, undertaken for the first time this year, to which GAL expressly asked airlines for their input in actively shaping, but has not received any views. GAL’s approach to this consultation followed on from previous consultation held over the past 3 years which included Constructive Engagement, where business cases were shared for each of the Major Capital Projects. The CIP document clearly sets out the key investment drivers underlying the creation of this CIP and identifies projects which meet these drivers. Chapter 4 of the CIP provides the description, scope, benefits, timing and anticipated cost of each of the Major Capital Projects. Two consultative meetings were held with the airlines and PAG for them to put forward their questions on the CIP, which we believe met their needs. We consider all the above actions demonstrate effective consultation. In the absence of airlines’ input on the overall process, we are at a loss as to what else airlines are looking for. Going forward as advised previously, and as set out in our Commitments framework, we will consult formally twice yearly – firstly on the development of the upcoming year’s CIP in January and secondly on the review of the previous year, following the completion of GAL’s
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 73
financial year (end March), around April/May. In addition, working groups will consult at operational level on the development of Major Capital Projects and updates on projects in delivery are provided at the bi-monthly AAG meetings.
Consultation Major Projects – On 4th September, Gatwick shared a presentation with us showing projects above the red line, to consult on and projects below the red line that will not be consulted on. The reasoning behind this is that the projects below the red line are either a group of projects or a project that is under £10m and we believe that airlines will want visibility and consultation; especially on:
Property Minor works £35m
Operational Resilience £30m
Upgrade Check-in and Bag-drop £17.50m
Water Management (Enhancement) £14.20m
GAL would like to clarify its position on the projects that were shown below the line on the slide referred to. All the projects on the slide are estimated to cost in excess of £10m and are therefore subject to individual consultation as set out in our Commitments framework. We stated at the meeting that due to these projects not being as well developed and also as they would be made-up of smaller projects (ie they are more of a programme), we were not yet in a position to consult on these. As and when significant projects within these programmes are identified, we will consult on those elements separately through working groups (with the exception of dedicated airline projects and commercial return projects).
CIP Overview – The airlines would like further discussion on why projects have been re-categorised by spend, including asset stewardship which appears to have had significant reduction in spend.
As part of the CAA’s decision for GAL’s regulatory regime for the next 7 years under the Commitments framework, the CAA gave GAL the challenge of reducing its capital investment programme by 13% for the 5 year period. In light of this, GAL undertook a prioritisation exercise earlier this year which led to the current CIP. A significant part of this was to review the Asset Stewardship projects which we now have more information on, and from this information we were able to re-scope and/or reprioritise to those works requiring the most attention. In addition, some of the projects in the previous Asset Stewardship list have been re-categorised and moved into the “Compliance, Risk & Resilience” (ie Ponds and Water Management c£13m) and “Core” (ie Commercial Minor Projects c£9m) categories, which makes the Asset Stewardship total appear to be less.
CIP Railway Station – The ACC notes the inclusion of £50m contribution for railway infrastructure. The ACC has not seen a business case for this level of investment yet therefore cannot provide a decision until this detail is shared.
This project is only in the very early stages and as it develops further GAL will consult separately on it.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 74
CIP Overview – An important part of consultation on capital is a review of the actual spend versus the plan, the ACC would like to see regular reviews of this at the AAG, to ensure that GAL meets its commitment in line with the CAA’s licence and commitments framework.
As agreed during consultation with the airlines on Contracts and Commitments, the established process is that GAL will hold an annual CIP Review meeting with airlines and PAG which we intend to hold following the end of our financial year in April/May. This reduces the burden on both the airport and airlines to undertake such review activities more frequently.
Virgin Letter
NT Programme – the overall conditions on VAA moving to the North Terminal are: no degradation in passenger experience, impact to people nor a cost to VAA. …Based on the information shared both as part of the CIP consultation process and bi-lateral discussions, without prejudice to other projects listed within the CIP, VAA strongly believe the commitment and timely delivery of these works in North Terminal are required in order to fulfil those conditions and we look forward to working through these priorities with GAL.
GAL thanks Virgin for its engagement on the CIP consultation and its input into the ACC’s response. GAL continues to consult with Virgin both bilaterally for their move to NT as part of easyJet’s consolidation and multi-laterally through the operational working group on the NT Programme works and values their input.
PAG Letter
NT Borders - Gatwick’s reputation and operational performance are already suffering because of inadequate space and facilities in the NT Immigration area. We urge GAL to start this project in 2014 rather than 2016 and to identify ways of delivering an improved passenger experience as fast as possible. We hope that schedules for other projects do not suffer as the result of bringing forward this expenditure.
GAL has revisited the analysis for when additional capacity is required for NT Borders which has resulted in works on this project starting earlier than set out in the CIP. These works will take place in two phases, the first to be completed by summer 2015 and the full scheme by the following summer, both phases commencing prior to 2016. A working group with airlines and PAG is about to commence consultation on the development of this project.
Pier 6 Southern Extension - We accept that growth plans at the moment indicate that pier service levels can be maintained without the need to initiate this project until 2017. In view of the length of the project, we ask that the pier service capacity calculations are re-confirmed at each annual review of the plan.
GAL refreshes its traffic forecasts each year to determine the levels of demand and therefore what and when additional capacity is required, which is a key investment driver for the CIP.
Early Bag Store (NT) - We hope that Gatwick’s airlines will embrace the availability of Early Bag Stores in both terminals to allow passengers to check-in up to 18 hours ahead of a flight thereby removing current restrictions.
At the second consultation meeting we discussed the NT Early Bag Store and GAL agreed to take another look at the analysis of when this facility will be required as requested by the airlines, to identify if this is earlier than the current thinking of late 2018, which we will

report back on at the January 2015 consultation meeting. The ST Early Bag Store will be completed during 2015/16 and GAL look forward to seeing how the airlines exploit the use of this new technology within their operations to strengthen the business case for NT.
Rail Station Contribution - We especially welcome this contribution by GAL. The railway station concourse is inadequate for current passenger numbers, provides poor access to the platforms and a poor passenger experience. This project and the investment in new rolling stock by the train operators are essential components in achieving our target of 60% of passengers to access the airport using public transport. Our preferred project option is one that delivers a concourse extending between the two overbridges and right across to the forecourt. This will be a sound basis for the Gatwick Gateway vision. We hope that GAL will be successful in securing funding from other partners for the project. Please advise us of further support that is needed.
GAL welcomes PAG support for this project. All four options that have been considered include an infill between the two link bridges to varying degrees.
NT IDL Capacity - The RAG Status charts presented at the second consultation meeting show ‘red’ in 2016 and only ‘yellow’ in 2018 and beyond. The ambience of the IDL is an essential part of the passenger experience. We hope GAL will monitor the encroachment into passenger space by the various capital projects (Security and WDF) and, if necessary, reduce the amount of ‘pop-up’ retail facilities in the peak season.
The relocation of check-in zones F, G and H to the Avenue level will free-up space for Security to be moved into that vacated space and subsequently the vacated Security space will be developed into the walk-through WDF store. These facilities moves will provide more capacity in the IDL for passenger circulation without the need for an extension to the building and therefore when complete will not encroach on the passenger space.
easyJet Consolidation - We hope that the final version of the CIP will include details of capital projects associated with this project, if it is supported by the airline community.
It is too early for such projects to be developed sufficiently to be included in this year’s document, but we anticipate being able to provide details of the Airline Moves project at the January consultation meeting.
Projects under £10m - PAG members welcome the opportunity to be involved in these projects using our working group structure. Whilst we have already been asked for our suggestions as input to the review of the CIP in January 2015, it would be helpful to know what projects under
All projects over £1m are listed in the main table (page 23) with asset stewardship projects over £1m being shown separately in Appendix D (page 48). Smaller projects below £1m are aggregated into “other” lines.
2014 Gatwick Capital Investment Programme 76
£10m are planned to start in the remainder of the current financial year. This will enable us to plan how we can support the projects using our volunteer members. We would also like to understand how small capital projects may be prioritised and actioned.
Funding for all capital projects go through GAL’s rigorous internal governance processes which evaluate projects against the key investment drivers. GAL encourages PAG to influence the content of the next CIP by discussing with their relevant GAL working group leads their requirements and urging those GAL leads to put these forward for input into the GAL CIP process by December.
CIP Document - Please ensure that the RAG charts (before and after CIP) that were presented in the second consultation meeting are reflected in the final version of the document.
These charts have been reproduced in the following Appendix G.
